>Perms, metadata, sync MOSTLY good.
>bmsCore. Kicks & snares = jumps.

16.960 - Cymbal crash doesn’t mean hand here, so then the hand is caused by additive layering? (jump + single, from the Kick + Beep?)
17.749 - I’d like to see a different jump pattern between this and 18.223 (2 diff noises).
22.486-22.644 - Pitch is descending in these two arrows. Maybe turn this 12 to a 42. Or maybe rearrange your surrounding patterns to allow yourself ways to make these two arrows descend.
26.276-26.512 - If snare is jump (like in 24.144), then shouldn’t these snares be jumps?
26.670/26.828 - These snares could be jumps, but they don’t have to, lest that undesirable jumpgluts be created.
27.855-35.434 - This section is slightly off-sync.
38.907/39.065 - Missing note
40.012-40.170/47.282-47.434 - If the beeps here are white notes, then what makes these so special compared to the other beeps?
43.960-44.114 - Should be two different patterns. Also why are these jumps?
47.670/47.907 - Missing note (beep)
47.986 - Ghost note
50.670 - Missing note
49.328-49.486 - If these two singles are for the piano, then they should be on the same lane.
49.802 - If piano, then this is a ghost note.
50.120 - Why jump?
50.276 - Should this be jump? Compare 42.697.
50.828/56.118/57.697 - Should be jump.
52.802-53.065 - Kinda weird that the faster snare rush has the easier 24th roll pattern, while the slower snare rush has the harder 24th trill pattern.
54.223 - Kinda weird that this sound isn’t a jump. Fortunately, you stepped this as a single consistently later, so I’ll allow it.
56.591-56.828 - If the jumps are on snares, then shouldn’t this be Single Jump Single Jump, instead of the current Jump Single Jump Single?
56.907 - Should be single. Compare 54.223.
57.539 - Hol’ up. You’re not shy to step 32nd rolls in this song? You might want to recheck 52.802-53.065 and similar sections later on.
58.407-59.039 - Put jumps on the snares.
60.697-62.448 - Sounds like ABC ABC ABB ABC.
62.591 - Should be jump? Compare 42.697
63.223/63.697/64.486 - Why not jump?
74.591-75.539 - I am shocked that you intentionally stepped nothing for this neat-sounding section here!
79.802 - Since you’re not stepping every sound in this entire Handstream section, you might as well take out this arrow.
81.144/98.394/110.749 - Missing note
85.012-85.565 - I think the trills are ascending from this fade-in gasp noise rather than descending. Maybe change the pattern from 24242323 to 14142323.
89.828 - Should be single.
97.013-97.644/107.118-107.670/117.223-117.776 - See 26.276-26.512 and 26.670/26.828.
110.355/110.513 - Should be singles. They’re not part of the cymbal crash Kicks.
123.144 - Sounds closer to 123.170.
124.170 - Sounds closer to 124.118
124.986-125.039 - These last few piano notes are actually a triplet. Sounds closer to 124.966, 125.026, and 125.085 respectively.
125.039 - Should cut the unused last seven seconds song.

>Permission good (2014 BOF event)
>Sync good
>Metadata, Folder contents good

16.960 - random hand?
24.302 - jump for drum?
46.487-48.066 - I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what is going on here. Following the previous sound, there's a note missing at 46.881/47.513/47.592 and arguably 47.829/47.908. Following the high-pitch noise is missing notes at 47.671 and 47.908. Is 47.987 a ghost note then?? Or you're attempting to reduce intensity to build up 48.066 ..?? Or you're trying to reflect the drop in those instruments' volume but missed/ignored the high pitch thing..?? It might be appropriate to just layer everything in for a mini-climax transition here. Any way, this section needs some clarity. It plays reasonably well (isn't too noticeable at speed) so I won't push it to CQ, but I strongly urge you to touch it up.
60.697-62.276, 63.855/64.960 - imo the piano here is too noticeable and overall difficulty too high to get away with this. Suggest including all of it. (Subjective, can leave as is) Alternatively, can follow the static noises here (can do one or both)
66.855 - missing note (maybe a single, to contrast with 69.381)(Subjective, can leave as is)
67.250 - jump for drum?
80.829 - debatable ghost note. Can probably leave as is.
81.145/83.513 - missing note
124.987 - There are definitely 3 notes in this flourish. Third one syncs fine on the next cyan after the 16th here.

Pretty dang solid overall. I like the colour theory in this. Some relatively minor touch-ups would really help though. PLEASE fix the 46.487 section. Nicely done.

- notes which were also in trumaestro's review are addressed there and not here

17.749: The sounds aren't exactly the same, but they do both have the same kick, which is why they're both [24].
22.486: done
26.276, 26.670, 97.013 etc.: They were indeed originally jumps, but were nerfed for being spiky.
27.855-35.434: fixed
38.907/39.065: Intentional omission because this section highlights synth more.
40.012/47.282: I agree it's a little arbitrary, but I want to emphasize the beeps whenever they occur. Ordinarily there are lots of them, so I use one-handed trills without having to colour them, but it's really hard to pattern two consecutive 8ths in a snappy way, so colour theory it is. The pair at 47.282 is also emphasized much more in the song than the surrounding beeps.
43.960: They're jumps because the sound is really strong basically. Considered using flams here but I don't like flams. And yeah, they are technically descending, but rearranging them to be that way without causing conflicts with the preceding jump would be way more trouble than it's worth (and would take some emphasis away from this sound, which I don't like).
49.328: True, they are the same pitch, but doing this would force the rest of the PR to be less clearly ascending from a player's perspective, and I wanted to capture that 50.120 is higher than the preceding stuff. In short, I care more about general ascending/descending here than precise pitch matching.
49.802: No, there's definitely a piano note here.
50.670: Literally can't hear anything here lol.
50.120: Piano + strong static.
50.276: This is clearly a much stronger sound than 42.697, don't see an issue here.
50.828/56.118/57.697: 50.828 is justifiable, but this section has a strong start which I felt a jump was inadequate for--consider it as going to the percussion plus the held note that starts there. 56.118 is also technically true, but the section starting at 56.276 is much louder, and since I use 8th jumps there having an unrelated 8th jump just before it muddies things needlessly. 57.697 is a single for playability reasons--it just feels nicer to hit, and the sound isn't so prominent that it practically screams for a jump.
52.802: The second part of this snare rush is indeed slower, but the hits are quite loud and distinct and it stands out audibly more than the faster bit imo.
54.223: I think I originally did have this sound as jumps, but I wanted this section to not be giga spiky, and it was the most disposable.
56.591: Not sure what you mean, this seems consistent to me and plays nicer.
57.539: I really didn't want to lol, but this is short enough that it felt fine and was the only way I could think of to properly distinguish this sound from the 24th -> 16th slowdown following.
58.407: I see where you're coming from, but I really don't think that that would fit the intensity of the chart relative to the song.
62.591: Again, not seeing the comparison to 42.697.
63.223/etc: This section of the song is quite low-key, didn't feel more layering would be appropriate (particularly because it obscures PR, and the song is slow enough here that PR is actually noticeable while playing on 1.0).
79.802: I really strongly considered it, but feel it flows better when it's included. I added some missing notes in the handstream this update too, so I think it fits better thematically in that sense.
85.012: They're definitely descending.
89.828: This is the same percussion as 90.539, which is a jump.
110.355: This is perhaps a janky stepping choice (and also probably the one thing I didn't change from my original 2015 draft of this chart lol) but this is actually not for percussion, but to mark the piano getting much louder.
123.144 I think is accurate where it is, but agreed on 124.118.

----------
16.960: yup. I think this was just to capture that there's a heck of a lot going on here (piano melody + kick + beep), but I agree that this is inconsistent (else some other jumps would need to be hands too). Removed.
24.302, 67.250: yup
46.488-48.066: My notes to the beep at 47.671 / 47.908 were a 16th late, which is probably where a bit of the confusion came from. Those have been moved to the right spot. 46.881 has been added, but honestly I barely even hear 47.513/47.592 at full rate and the beep is imo much more important there, so I'm leaving them out.
60.697-62.276: Disagree--this is actually a restep of a chart I had for this in like 2015 haha, and one of the biggest things that bugged me about that was that this section felt way overdone because I followed the static there. I also think the piano is quiet enough relative to the stuff I do follow for this to make sense. But I do agree with 63.855/64.960 because those are about the same volume as the surrounding piano stuff, and that's arguably more prominent than the percussion I was following.
66.855: yeah I totally get this, but I think I'll leave it out because I'd like to emphasize percussion more.
80.829: Definitely there, just a little muddier than the previous ones.
81.145 added, but left out 83.513 because I don't want to crowd the 24th burst.
124.987: yup
